It may be a month later than usual, but Apple’s iPhone 12 lineup starts rolling out next week.
The iPhone 12 and 12 Pro arrive on Friday, Oct. 23. The iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 12 mini are in stores beginning Friday, Nov. 13. If you’re in the market for an upgrade, you might want to sell your older iPhone to make a dent in the price. But there’s more to ditching your old phone than just handing it over and waiting for cash to hit your bank account.
Privacy concerns abound with phones, from photos stored in iCloud to personal data housed within apps, so wiping your phone before selling it is a must. And don’t forget to back up, so you don’t have to manually re-download hundreds of apps on your new iPhone.
Below is our step-by-step guide to preparing your phone for sale, as well as a few reputable sites that will take it off your hands for top dollar.
